Keurig Mini Plus Personal Brewer

The Keurig Mini Plus Personal Brewer is perfect if you're the only coffee drinker in your house and a cup at a time suffices. As the tank only holds 10 ounces of water, you need to add water every time you brew, and it takes a couple minutes to produce a full cup. You control the strength and size of your cup of joe by the type of K-cup you choose and how much water you use. (There are no settings though, so you'll have to figure this out by trial and error.) This colorful model comes in red, orange, purple, black, platinum, white, cobalt blue, yellow, flash green, and orange to match your kitchen's décor. Plus, Keurig's K-cups are widely available and come in a wide variety of coffee and tea brands, along with cider, hot chocolate, and iced drinks. The only (big) con? This model's coffee was among the lowest rated of any in our test by our taste panel.
